  • Patent number: 7923388
    Abstract: Polyolefin fiber fabrics can be endowed with oil-repellent properties by treating them first in a plasma atmosphere to raise their surface tension, then with a polyorganosiloxane containing polyoxyalkylene groups and finally with a polyacrylate or polyurethane containing perfluoroalkyl radicals. The fabrics thus obtained are useful for medical as well as other applications.

  • Patent number: 7795342
    Abstract: The use is described of aqueous dispersions in combination with fluoropolymers for oil- and water-repellent finishing of fiber materials. These dispersions have a long shelf life and contain a composition which is preparable by reaction of polyfunctional isocyanates with a deficiency of comparatively long-chain monohydric alcohols, subsequent reaction with a deficiency of a ketone oxime and final reaction with polyhydric alcohols or amino alcohols.

    Abstract: Compositions according to the invention comprise water, a polyurethane or poly(meth)acrylate having perfluoroalkyl groups and a special siloxane. The treatment of fiber materials, in particular of nonwovens made of polypropylene, leads to articles which have oil-, water- and alcohol-repellency properties and can be used in the medical sector.

  • Publication number: 20090311211
    Abstract: Polyorganosiloxanes containing urea groups can be obtained in the form of aqueous dispersions by firstly dissolving them in an organic solvent, then dispersing this solution with water with co-use of auxiliaries, subjecting the mixture to homogenization and then at least partially removing the organic solvent. The aqueous dispersions prepared in this way are suitable as additive for detergents, fabric softeners, haircare compositions, shampoos and for textile finishing.

  • Patent number: 7053148
    Abstract: Fiber materials in the form of fabrics receive, as a result of treatment with compositions according to the invention, a pleasant soft hand and excellent oil-and water-repelling properties with good permanence. The compositions can be obtained by a) preparing a solution of a polysiloxane and an extender with blocked isocyanate groups in an organic solvent, b) dispersing this solution in water, c) removing the organic solvent and d) combining the aqueous dispersion obtained with a second aqueous dispersion which comprises a polymer with perfluoroalkyl groups. One variant of this preparation process consists in cousing a polymer with perfluoroalkyl groups as early as in step a). In this case, step d) can be omitted.

  • Patent number: 6783806
    Abstract: Compositions are described with organopolysiloxanes which contain crosslinked units and are further crosslinkable. The compositions further contain a polyurethane containing blocked isocyanate groups. They are useful for treating fiber materials, especially textile sheet materials, and can be applied thereto in the form of aqueous solutions or dispersions. Textiles which are 50 to 100% by weight wool and have been finished with the compositions exhibit low shrinkage and low felting tendency during washing operations and also a pleasant, soft hand.

  • Patent number: 6387999
    Abstract: Compositions comprising an ester with perfluoroalkyl groups and an oligo- or polyurethane which may likewise contain perfluoroalkyl groups are useful for the oil and water repellant finishing of sheetlike textile materials. The compositions may additionally include acrylic polymers having perfluoroalkyl groups and extenders. Especially the use of nonionic aqueous dispersions of the compositions makes it possible to obtain textiles with little if any effect losses after mechanical abrasion and good LAD effects.

  • Patent number: 6056788
    Abstract: Creases with excellent resistance to washing processes can be produced in 30 to 100% by weight wool fabrics by means of a specific process. The fabrics are preferably in the form of garments; the process can be used to produce trouser creases, for example. The process consists in applying at least one compound having isocyanate groups to the fabric and pressing creases into the fabric under certain moisture and temperature conditions.

  • Patent number: 5112930
    Abstract: Modified polyurethanes containing perfluoroaliphatic groups which are obtained by reacting oligo(poly)urethanes containing free hydroxyl or isocyanate groups and perfluoroaliphatic groups with di/polyfunctional polysiloxanes at elevated temperatures with conversion of all the reactive groups of the urethane are used for the oil- and water-repellent finishing of fiber materials, conferring on these materials thus treated not only laundering- and drycleaning-stable effects but also in particular a very soft, full hand of very good surface smoothness, these excellent hand effects being further optimized by the addition of a polyethylene dispersion and/or of further customary textile assistants, in particular water-repellent fluorocarbon compounds.

  • Patent number: 4895927
    Abstract: The present invention contains a process for manufacturing a water-soluble, self-crosslinking, polymeric condensation product by reacting 1 mole di-C.sub.1-4 -alkylamino-C.sub.24 alkyl(meth)acrylates with 0.3 to 1.5 mol di-C.sub.1-3 -alkyl-phosphonates in the presence of water under heating up to a remarkable increase of the viscosity.If aqueous solutions of these condensation products are used for the treatment of fibrous materials, a very high antistatic effect is imparted to them with only small changes of shade and a very good dry- and wet rubbing fastness as well as water-fastness. The effects show a good permanency.
